55. Eurythmy Performance
Here, in our performance today, we are mostly dealing with artistic eurythmy. It must be said that it is still necessary to ask the audience for their indulgence before each performance. You will see that although we have made progress in the meantime, we are still at the very beginning. But he who at the same time understands the healthy, organic-human foundations on which eurythmy is based, will also have an idea that it can become more and more perfect, because it does not use only an external instrument, but uses the human body as an instrument, the hands, the arms and so on. So that the children at school, from the first year up to the highest class that we can have up to now - up to the 14th, 15th, 16th year - feel and sense that they are bringing the whole person into the movement, that they are bringing body, soul and spirit into movement through it.
